MOTOYAKI - Japanese cusine. baked food topped with a mayonnaise-based sauce served in an oyster shell.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 oysters (large & alive)
1 cup japanese mayonnaise (Kewpie brand)
1/4 cup fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
1/4 cup green onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red miso
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional. I love heat)
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges
3 teaspoons fish roe (Masago or Capelin eggs)

Steps:

  • Scrub the oysters and rinse them off. Shuck the oysters(if you have trouble shucking try placing the oysters in a shallow pan of boiling water for a minute first). Always smell a freshly shucked oyster to make sure it's fresh, they should have no strong odor and merely smell like the ocean.
  • Once the oysters are shucked, remove the meat and rinse it off in cold water, being sure to remove any shell fragments or the beginnings of a pearl(these are murder on your teeth) Discard the flat top half of the shell and keep the lower bowl shaped half, rinsing them out as well. Dry the meat by patting between 2 paper towel sheets.
  • Whisk the mayonnaise, miso paste and peppers together. Set aside.
  • Lightly saute the mushrooms and onion in butter to remove some of the water.
  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayo mixture on the bottom of each shell.
  • Cut the oyster meat into 4-6 pieces per oyster and divide evenly onto the shells.
  • Divide the onion & mushroom mixture evenly into shells and top off thickly with the mayonnaise mixture, being sure to completely cover everything in the shell with the mixture.
  • Place the shells on a baking sheet or arrange them in a shallow pan as level as you can.
  • Place oysters in the oven on the top rack and bake for 20-25 minutes. The tops should be a nice dark brown when done.
  • Remove oysters from the oven, placing a small amount of Masago on each and serve with a lemon wedge.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch shallots, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 egg yolk
Ice cream salt
1/3 cup dry white wine
Salt and cayenne pepper to taste
2 dozen oysters on the half shell
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Sauté the chopped shallots in the butter and slowly stir over a very low heat until the onions are well cooked, but not brown. Sprinkle the shallots with the flour and cook until the flour begins to brown. Add the chicken broth and the mushrooms and mix well. Beat the egg yolk into the wine and add to the chicken broth mixture, beating all the while. Season with the salt and cayenne, and cook over a low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Heat a pan of ice cream salt in a 400-degree oven for 15 minutes. Place the oysters on the half shell in the hot ice cream salt and return to the oven for about 5 minutes. Spoon the sauce over each oyster and sprinkle with a mixture of the bread crumbs and cheese. Return to the oven and bake until the bread crumb mixture is lightly browned. Two dozen oysters served this way will serve four.

Tips:

  • To make sure the oysters are cooked evenly, try to select oysters that are all about the same size.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use regular breadcrumbs. Just make sure to toast them in a pan with some butter or oil until they are golden brown.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish. If you are making a large batch, you may need to bake the oysters in batches.
  • Keep an eye on the oysters while they are baking. They should be cooked through, but you don't want to overcook them or they will become tough.
  • Serve the oysters immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
